Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress

By: Susan Jane Gilman

Narrated by: Susan Denaker

The bestselling author of Kiss My Tiara returns with an original and entertaining memoir about childhood dreams, coming of age, ambition and family.

Divided into three sections (Childhood, “Grape Juice and Humiliation”; Adolescence, “Not Just Horny but Obnoxious, Too”; and Adulthood, “Reality Says Hello”), the stories Susan tells are uniquely her own, but the themes she touches upon are universal. She reminisces about being the girl in school all the other girls were mean to (probably not helped by her penchant for running around in a tutu), growing up uncool and white in a Puerto Rican neighborhood, meeting Mick Jagger at a cocktail party at 15, and coming into her own as a writer and a feminist.©2005 Susan Jane Gilman; (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.

Just say no

If you are looking for a humorous, perceptive essays from a fresh point of view.... please download David Sedaris instead! The inanity of the trivial stories, the pretentious voice, is matched perfectly by the most patronizing narration I have ever encountered in an audiobook. I felt like a hypocrite of a thinking woman - for listening to this whole thing. I can only recommend it to people who found "The Nanny Diaries" insightful. Definitely sample before you buy!

Hysterical! Great narrator!!

I read one review that said the narrator was bad and almost didn’t buy this but they are nuts because this narrator is absolutely hysterical and does multiple voices so well. I loved this
